Neglected to perform the duties of his office and by his own admission was not competent or qualified for the job.

Knew or should have known that his own admitted sexual affair with an employee contributed to and allowed a hostile work environment.

Failed to ensure the safety and security of state property.

Failed to investigate and prohibit improper use of state property.

Knew or should have known of the misuse of state property for personal business.

Committed acts of gross neglect of duty by undermining the integrity of his office; bringing disrepute upon the office; betraying the public trust as Ohio’s chief law enforcement officer; and undermining the effectiveness and efficiency of the office.

Committed acts of gross immorality and knew or should have known that his personal conduct undermined the effectiveness and efficiency of the office.
